A Review on Microbial Production of Vitamins

Abstract

Vitamins are vital nutrients that can be  produced by the body and are only required in tiny quantities  in the diet. Vitamins are chemical molecules that must be  consumed in tiny amounts since the body cannot produce  them. They are vital for appropriate development and  sustenance. This article is about vitamins as its intake is vital  for every human being since we can’t produce it in the body  and hence there is need of vitamin intake in human body.  There are many microbes that have the capacity of producing  vitamins on its own all they need is the substrate and they  release vitamins. This article focuses on the microbes that are  useful in the production of vitamins and also on the various  advances made in this field by the genetic engineering by  looking into their metabolic pathway and understanding the  science of how these microbes are capable of producing  vitamins. As a consequence, future technological  breakthroughs may lead to more sustainable,  environmentally friendly, as well as cost-efficient vitamin  manufacturing procedures using microbes as effective cell  factories.
